Six Months with Me...
Best for 3+ years old!
Did you know that most of the parents who get in touch with me are struggling with a three year old? It's not surprising - a recent poll by Unicef UK found that many parents reported feeling overwhelmed (49%), anxious (43%), and unsupported (36%) all or a lot of the time in the last twelve months.
My unique Toddler Doula™ "Six Months with Me" support programme consists of ten game-changing sessions with me. These sessions are face-to-face (either in person or via Zoom), and are one-to-one. Some of them will work with your toddler present, some might be best after they have gone to bed! Each session will be tailored uniquely to you, your family, and your toddler!
Together we will repair and renew your feelings about parenting, empower you with the knowledge and confidence that you are doing the right thing, and get to the root causes of what might be creating the parenting challenges that you are currently facing.
While these sessions are perfect for parents with children ages 3+, they are also suitable for preschoolers of all ages. I always love meeting the toddlers themselves and may suggest an observation session, but this is not necessary for you to gain the full benefits of this unique support package!
Themes can include:
